[XvBA T. A. <xvb...@li...>]

Hi,

A new version of xvba-video, the XvBA backend to VA-API, is now available at:
<http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/>

Version 0.8.0 - 14.Jun.2011
* Relicense code to GPLv2
* Require fglrx >= 8.80.5 (Catalyst 10.12)

Some code were removed to comply with AMD recommendations and current NDA. 
They will be reintegrated at a later point (based on the internal SVN 
history) when the relevant features are public knowledge.

xvba-video is now available under the GPLv2 license. Source tarballs are 
available at the above-mentioned URL but also through GIT:
<http://code.splitted-desktop.com/git/?p=xvba-video.git;a=summary>

I didn't have the time to clean up all the workarounds. You can try to 
remove them but please don't cry if things start to crash or work not as 
well as 0.7.8. This could work with earlier versions of Catalyst too but 
it's not a good idea to stick with such ancient drivers anyway. You would 
miss other bug fixes that are not mentionned.

I left the Evergreen workarounds in just in case Llano needs similar 
treatment. Then, don't forget to update the PCI IDs accordingly.

Regards,
Gwenole.
